My friend said this was the best one? You should all try this at least once....

![저크치킨과 양상추가 올라간 타코라이스](https://img.superchart.com/images/tacodot-mangwon-market-mango-shrimp-taco/tacodot-mangwon-market-mango-shrimp-taco-18-1obo9-900.webp)

![A spoonful of tacorice](https://img.superchart.com/images/tacodot-mangwon-market-mango-shrimp-taco/tacodot-mangwon-market-mango-shrimp-taco-19-1na4e-900.webp)

Plenty of meat, plenty of veggies — go for this one if value for money is your priority

![Guacamole ordered as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/tacodot-mangwon-market-mango-shrimp-taco/tacodot-mangwon-market-mango-shrimp-taco-20-8j92m-900.webp)
*Guacamole is a must: adding a spoonful to your taco or tacorice deepens the flavor so much, be sure to add it as a side!*

### Why guacamole is the side to add

We also ordered guacamole as a side, and eating it together, it just kept going down without getting old.......

- ✨ Spoon a bit onto your taco and wrap it up — the flavor upgrades 200%
- ✨ It's a side dish, but you'd regret not ordering it — an essential add-on!
